The final installment of the music trifecta of the past week was Geno Young at Takoma Station. As I mentioned in part 2, he did a cameo in W. Ellington Felton's portion of the show at the Black Cat on Saturday night.
Y'all...this Dallas brother can SANG!
Dub Ell was the DJ and host for this event (Cotton Club Sundays). He did "Admit It" and an organic freestyle song that included the bassist from YaMama'Nym.
He did his song "Touch the Sky", which he performed at the Black Cat. He also sang songs from and promoted his album, Ghetto Symphony. He also sang a funny hook that alluded to some writing/arrangement credit issues with Jill Scott's song "Living My Life (Like It's Golden)". I hope he works that out; it may help that he stop talking about it in public, though.
Bilal Saleem sang background again (why are you surprised--he'd been in the mix all weekend LOL). And there was a guest appearance by the songstress Wanya. I'd heard of her, but never heard her sing. She riffed for maybe thirty seconds and made me a believer! You can hear snippets of her album Moments of Clarity. She'll be at the 9:30 club with Fertile Ground on Feb. 10. YEAH!!!
I now have CDs out the yang (independently done, but very nice quality. They don't look like the ones you buy on the street for $5) and met some positive brothers and sisters who are taking their musical artistry to the next level. It's truly inspiring and refreshing. Please take the time to visit their websites, listen, enjoy, and purchase.
